Giffgaff Issues Reports Near Watford, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Watford and nearby locations:

  • Benjakev jason k (@Benjakev) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PoliceConsumer @giffgaff Been on giffgaff since they launched, cheapest and most reliable network I’ve ever used

  • SoundsWukah Wukah (@SoundsWukah) reported from Brentford, England

    @giffgaff Just like with the last inquiry, that was very unhelpful. Yes, anyone has the ability to take the time to read through the website at the terms and conditions, but this Twitter feed is there to help with specific issues, so don't just refer people to the website. Tks.

  • arigork Ari Gork (@arigork) reported from Camden Town, England

    Family visiting needed a local sim. Got @giffgaff prepaid & activation was simple & fast. Catch is you need to get a voucher or credit/debit card to load selected bundle as store could not help and needed browser access to activate sim and load bundle. Otherwise 5 stars :)

  • AkpaluGeorge George Akpalu (@AkpaluGeorge) reported from London, England

    Giffgaff is so slow and keeps breaking

  • DrJennyVaughan jenny vaughan (@DrJennyVaughan) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @giffgaff sort out your ageist “customer care” approach & call & help my 77 year old mum. You don’t even help me to help her you just send us a barrage of data red tape we can’t deal with. This is how elderly people are marginalised by #giffgaff they just won’t make that call.

  • Maliwil RAVEAUD Emmanuel (@Maliwil) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Oh thanks so much, only one solution refund my money back on 5 days, so I don't have a phone for a new week. Thanks @dpd_support for your perfect work ... So know you are going to give me a new phone 🤬😤

  • Muvaharris meg (@Muvaharris) reported from London, England

    I have a very important call and giffgaff decide to go down now? Have no signal whatsoever! Always having problems! Absolute joke @giffgaff

  • LauraSummersNow Laura Summers (@LauraSummersNow) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Hi Giffgaff! Something has gone wrong in North Greenwich with your network. Calls keep cutting out here. We’re all going to change network (unless this is just about to fix!) - it’s my husband and I (on Giffgaff) plus a neighbour on Sky (also 02)

  • staylowkae baby wasteman. (@staylowkae) reported from London, England

    giffgaff finally back to more data less money but ofc its slow now 😐

  • EdoreFaine Cr£am (@EdoreFaine) reported from London, England

    How comes everyone with #giffgaff never answer the #phone #London #voicemail 🤨

  • CWMcGinnes CW McGinnes (@CWMcGinnes) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff trying to activate a sim for my mum, payment isn't being accepted. Can you please help

  • jordanrevell Jordan Revell (@jordanrevell) reported from Camden Town, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I've had internet dropouts for the past 3-4 days, up to 4 times per day, plus dropouts often in the last year. It nearly jeopardized my life changing doctors appointment held over zoom today, often times my giffgaff 4g mobile data is faster, I need a solution.

  • suhailpatel Suhail Patel (@suhailpatel) reported from London, England

    @Geek_Manager @jaseemabid @watbe @filipecvarela @ThreeUK @EE @giffgaff Three around Central London has been very spotty for me too (although it’s worse on iPhones than Androids, maybe it’s the iOS baseband on Three’s bands). Vodafone have been my go-to pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately the support is abysmal, guess you can’t have it all.

  • djrowsam DJ Rowland Samuel (@djrowsam) reported from Paddington, England

    @MissyMissyJ I had a similar problem....but it was with Giffgaff (who use the O2 network as well)

  • RitaAdam95 Adam Rita St. (@RitaAdam95) reported from Barnet, England

    Technical problem shouldn’t be an excuse for late submissions, if WiFi failed at your house your personal hotspot can be used as wifi on your laptop (pay giffgaff £25 per month you have unlimited data don’t worry) - there’s always a way to submit your work on time, no excuses 🙂

  • uncoolbob Bob MacCallum (@uncoolbob) reported from London, England

    No signal, phone or data here @giffgaff

  • TronalddumpUS Tronald Dump. (@TronalddumpUS) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff your network in #blackheath is atrocious. I get better signal sitting on a beach in Botswana, what's up with that?

  • till_the_wheels 𝕵𝖚𝖌𝖘 (@till_the_wheels) reported from London, England

    @O2 @Joegreaney Hi I'd just like to add that this is a problem for everyone on 02 and giffgaff in that area and it's because a mast in hither green has been down for 2 years and these crooks hate you enough to ignore it.

  • dolajs dola (@dolajs) reported from Beaconsfield, England

    @giffgaff I’m having a few issues ...phone shows 4G but as soon as I make a call it drops instantly to 3G ...no matter the reception

    @giffgaff 2/ bothering to read what was explained in the previous ticket response & then waiting 24hrs again. If this is not resolved by tomorrow, I will probably be taking my business to another provider with a real tech support system.

  • thunderratz ThunderRatz (@thunderratz) reported

    My mum is having so much fun with gifs. She was calling them giffgaffs and telling me how one of her friends doesn't know how to use them but Giffgaff is a mobile service provider. Eventually, I understood what she was on about. I rarely use gifs. I use words. Bloody old people!

  • wiganlady81 Karen Louise (@wiganlady81) reported

    @giffgaff I bought one months phone sim use, you have taken a second months and an email saying "thanks for sticking with us". How do I cancel, your website has me going round in circles. I only wanted the month I requested.

  • manx_maid Stephanie Brooke (@manx_maid) reported

    @giffgaff @O2 The £7 electricity top up at the Coop has got through but the £8 gas has not reached the meter, for the first time ;( Suspect @O2 outage may have something to do with this too. I have to work out how you "key in the vend code" 🤔😬

    @giffgaff I’m having trouble topping up my sons phone. Let’s me reset password then says ‘ooops there’s a problem with that’ when I try sign in

  • missd1311 Janine (@missd1311) reported
